FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS.

We know (from experience!) that attending a new class for the first time can be daunting. Here are some of the most common questions we get asked, and some answers that might help:

We accept drop-ins at our weekly community classes, however we encourage you to book online when possible as this makes things smoother for us when you arrive at class. If you are unable to book online we can take drop-in cash and card payments at the door - please arrive in plenty of time to make your payment at class.

Our monthly memberships are online purchases only as this requires a direct debit payment and our teachers are unable to handle your bank details at class. Bookings must be made in advance for workshops and retreats.

If you need support setting with bookings, please contact Bryony who will be able to help.

Many of our students attend sessions while living with common conditions such as arthritis, diabetes, depression, and anxiety. We also offer more specialist sessions for people with disabilities, autism, and visual or hearing impairments.

If you regularly see a healthcare professional, we ask that you consult them before attending your first session. All new students are required to complete a health form.

If you have any questions or concerns about whether a session is right for you, please contact Bryony — we’re always happy to help.

Our sessions are flexible and low-pressure. You’re welcome to take breaks, step out if needed, and take part in a way that feels comfortable for you — there’s no expectation to follow everything exactly.

Can I still do yoga if I have an injury or illness? - Body Mind Collective

Unless otherwise stated, our community sessions are for adults aged 16 and over. Sessions specifically designed for families, children, and young people are offered separately and are clearly labelled.

All instructors delivering sessions for children and young people hold enhanced DBS checks and undertake regular safeguarding training.

If you know a child or teenager who would be interested in attending our sessions, please email us to register your interest. This helps us understand local demand and plan future family, children’s, and teen sessions safely and appropriately.

FINANCIAL ACCESSIBILITY.

Karma Yoga.

Karma Yoga means the Yoga of Action and is about selfless service. If you are passionate about making health and wellbeing equitable and want to become part of our community, then you can volunteer with us in exchange for free sessions and discounts on workshops.

We have a variety of weekly tasks that you can commit to helping with, from setting up and packing away sessions, to administration tasks. No particular skills are necessary, but we ask that you are trustworthy, respectful, reliable, and punctual.

If you are interested in joining our karma team please contact us on hello@bodymindcollective.cc to see if we have any places currently available.

Bursaries.

We aim to make our sessions as inclusive as possible, this includes financial accessibility. One practical way we feel that we can increase diversity in the wellbeing world is to offer a 50% bursary place on each of our workshops and trainings.

Applicants will be required to demonstrate financial need for the bursary. Priority will be given to those who are from marginalised or vulnerable groups. To apply for a bursary please see each course page.
